Montreal- and Toronto-based Facet4 Media has entered a co-development deal with Keshet International, the global production and distribution arm of the Israel-based Keshet Media Group.

The deal will see the companies collaborating to develop comedy and drama projects for the Canadian and international market.

The deal with Keshet comes two months after Facet4 partnered with Breakthrough Entertainment on a development and production deal for unscripted lifestyle series. The prodco, which also handles financing and distribution, was founded in 2014 by Stephen Greenberg. Anna-Sue Greenberg serves as head of creative and Jamie Greenberg is head of business development.

After recently opening an L.A. office to serve the company’s scripted programming, Keshet International also announced a European drama initiative open to copros that aims to fund three to four new drama productions annually. Keshet established its Canadian office in June 2013.
